2640 Teacher Aides
Assisted Last Year
Virginia teachers last year were assisted by 2640 teacher aides performing such varied duties as monitoring students in the cafeteria, grading test papers and English themes and even giving lessons to small groups of children thereby enriching or reinforcing the lessons of the teacher.
The typical aide, as pictured by a .Virginia Education Association research study released today, which includes aides employed in federal programs, was a full-time employee with a high school diploma who assisted in classroom instruction.
Very few (11 per cent) had less than a high school education or had unknown educational backgrounds and more than one in three (38 per cent) had some formal college training.
Of the 2640 aides, nearly 2000 were employed full time and about 600 worked on a part-time basis. More than 1500 were involved directly in instruction and 1100 completed non-instructional duties.
Instructional aides assisted in planning and implementing lessons, collected and prepared materials to be used by the students and graded papers.
Non-instructional aides served a variety of record keeping functions and served as aides in study halls, libraries, central offices, and cafeterias and on playgrounds.
